Let's divide 294470 by 87
We want to divide 294470 by 87.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 29 / 87

Advancing to step 2:
The number 87 fits into 29 0 times, leaving a remainder of 29.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 29 leaves us with 29.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 294 / 87

On to step 3:
If we divide 294 by 87, we get 3 and a remainder of 33.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 261 from 294.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 33 and repeat the process: 334 / 87

On to step 4:
When dividing 334 by 87, we get 3 with a remainder of 73.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 33.0
Subtracting 261 from 334 leaves us with 73.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 73, then repeat: 737 / 87

Moving on to step 5:
737 divided by 87 is 8 with a remainder of 41.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 338.0
If we subtract 696 from 737, we get 41.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 41, then repeat: 410 / 87

Let's proceed to step 6:
87 goes into 410 4 times with a remainder of 62.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3384.0
The remainder is 62 after subtracting 348 from 410.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 87 fits into 620 7 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3384.7
If we subtract 609 from 620, we get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
If we divide 110 by 87, we get 1 and a remainder of 23.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3384.71
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 87 from 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 230, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 230 by 87, we get 2 and a remainder of 56.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3384.712
The remainder is 56 after subtracting 174 from 230.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 87 fits into 560 6 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3384.7126
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 522 from 560.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 380 by 87, we get 4 and a remainder of 32.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3384.71264
Deduct 348 from 380 and we're left with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 12:
87 goes into 320 3 times with a remainder of 59.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3384.712643
The remainder is 59 after subtracting 261 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 590, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
87 can be fit into 590 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 68.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3384.7126436
If we subtract 522 from 590, we get 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Step 14:
87 goes into 680 7 times with a remainder of 71.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3384.71264367
The remainder is 71 after subtracting 609 from 680.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 710, and continue the process.

Our division results in 3384.71264367 with a remaining 7.1e-08.
